Burlington Dike Trail
The short, unpaved Burlington Dike Trail might not look like much from the outset, but this 2.2 mile trail a great for walking and jogging, and promises beautiful views of the Skagit River. This trail is popular for fishing due to its easy access to the riverbank.
This level trail is walkable north and south. Maple and cottonwood trees line the south end of its narrow dirt foot path. The north end offers open views of the river from a wide gravel trail.
Find it: Burlington Dike Trail is accessible by three easy-to-find access points to the Burlington Dike Trail: Whitmarsh Playfields, Skagit River Park Playfields and Gus Tjerdsma Boat Launch. Each offer parking and portable restrooms.
